You can suggest the Minnesota Twins don\u2019t have much to play for the rest of the way and you would be right. They are a\u00a0mile out of the divisional race, and three-quarters of a mile back in the wild card.<\/p>\n

September will be more about Rocco Baldelli and Derek Falvey deciding\u00a0what they have to work\u00a0with moving into next year. That doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t\u00a0individual accomplishments\u00a0to key in on.<\/p>\n

Both Byron Buxton and Pablo Lopez saw their names pop up across the ticker on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Byron Buxton joins elite club for MN Twins<\/h2>\n

Maybe more than anyone, Byron Buxton\u00a0has literal millions of reasons\u00a0to keep pushing. His contract includes incentives that have escalators as the overall votes go up among the MVP race. It\u2019s logical he\u2019d be a top-five finisher, and he could win his first Silver Slugger award as well.<\/p>\n

No matter what, he\u2019s going to finish the year with the first 20-20 season of his career.<\/p>\n
